Trump’s Energy Crisis
Household electric bills are up 13% nationally since Trump took office and are poised to climb higher. In July 2025, the Trump administration and congressional Republicans passed a bill that is already raising utility costs and destroying jobs by cutting cheaper, cleaner energy projects, while funding new tax breaks for the oil and gas industries. With data centers and artificial intelligence putting unprecedented demands on our electric grid, these moves to gut clean energy are taking critical production offline and increasing costs for consumers. It’s a Republican Rate Hike.
And today, more than 165,000 jobs have already been lost or stalled in the clean energy sector since Trump’s election. Donald Trump and his allies are creating a self-inflicted energy crisis, sending utility costs through the roof, closing down factories, and making us more dependent on foreign oil—all while dramatically increasing the pollution of our air and water.
